IN this hot weather, no one wants to spend ages in the kitchen, which is why this week I’ve got two midweek meals that are delicious and quick to put together.

You’ll have dinner time covered on those days you want to be outside enjoying the sunshine.

My chorizo tortellini bake only requires you to make a tomato sauce and then stir through fresh tortellini, while one-pan harissa cod is one of my fave “no-cook bag” recipes – you just add everything to a freezer bag and freeze flat.

So simple and so tasty.

Happy batching.
